How to Make a Glass Tile Photo Pendant

Use a craft knife to cut away portions of the picture that extend beyond the glass tile.

You can wear your favorite photographs, whether they be of a loved one or a favorite outdoor scene, in the form of a pendant. By sandwiching the photograph between two small glass tiles, your photograph will be safely displayed around your neck since the glass tiles help protect your keepsake from the elements.

Things You'll Need

• Warm water
• Soap
• Microfiber cloth
• 2 glass tiles
• Adhesive that dries clear, such as Glamour Glaze
• Photograph
• Trimming mat
• Craft knife
• Jewelry bail

Instructions

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap. Clean the front and back of the glass tile in lukewarm water, then dry completely with a microfiber cloth.

2. Apply a dot of adhesive to the textured side of the glass tile. Use enough adhesive to completely cover one side of the tile.

3. Press the textured side of the glass tile against the front of the photo. Wipe away any adhesive that comes out from under the glass tile.

4. Allow the adhesive to dry for half an hour. Trim the parts of the photograph that extend beyond the glass tile with a craft knife.

5. Apply a dot of adhesive to the back of the photograph and apply the second glass tile, allowing it to dry for another half an hour.

6. Attach a bail to the back of the pendant by applying a small bead of instant glue with a toothpick. Allow the glue to dry overnight.

Tips & Warnings

• Be careful about exposing the pendant to excessive moisture. Do not wear it when you go swimming or shower.
